Women have been delivering in the upright position for centuries. The evidence is clear that upright birthing positions confer greater advantage than nonupright positions, such as recumbent, lateral and semi-recumbent. Yet in present day practice, the majority of women are still delivering 'flat' on the bed. The author argues that women are not aware of the different positions and that midwives are not always prepared to deliver them in their position of choice. The text looks at the evidence for and against the use of different birthing positions. A systematic review of the evidence from a historical, anthropological and scientific perspective is discussed. The results of a randomised controlled trial on women's decision making and choice of birthing positions is included as well as midwives' views of birthing positions and the extent to which they influence women.

OBJECTIVE STRUCTURED CLINICAL EXAMINATION FOR PSYCHIATRIC TRAINEES: Volume I

Dr. Jaap Tony, Dr. Joseph Thirumalai, Dr

This book offers guiding comments for doctors who are thinking of, or have embarked on, a training in psychiatry. It offers some general comments about how you can find a training programme (at both senior house officer and specialist registrar level) and how you can get the best out of such a training programme. It considers a number of practical matters that may be going on in your life outside work. It introduces some aspects of management skills that you will need in the modern working environment. And, it considers the political environment in which you will be working, to help you understand why certain apparent absurdities in health care are why they are. With the information in this book, you will be better equipped to deal with the challenges that occur in the course of a training in psychiatry that do not relate to the direct provision of clinical care.

Optimal Maternal And Infant Nutrition, In Particular Breastfeeding, Is A Key National And International Focus Within Public Health. The Target Audience For This Book Has A Major Remit In Both Public Health And Nutrition. While There Are Texts That Focus Specifically Upon Nutrition Per Se, There Is A Lack Of Published Material Discussing Cutting Edge Research Related To The Short And Longer-Term Effects Of Nutrition, And Of The Nature Of The Relationship Between Mother And Infant As A Consequence Of Nutritive And Nurturing Behaviour. Rather Than Presenting A Descriptive Account Of Maternal And Infant Nutrition, Each Chapter Will Provide A Critical And Controversial Perspective. The Book Is Presented In Two Sections: Physiological Aproach To The Continuum Of Nutrition From Preconception Th Rough To Weaning And 2. Sociological Perspectives On The Most Contemporary And Controversial Issues Related To Maternal And Infant Nutrition. While The Book Is Broadly Separated Into Two Distinct Sections It Is Recognised That The Two Approaches Are Not Mutually Exclusive. The Authors Of Each Chapter Have Been Identified As Leaders In The Areas As Covered By Their Designated Chapters.
